Wilcox Lyrics

I think you're pretty and clever

Wearing your heart under your sweater

In sunnier weather

Lacking incentive for the better

Our hearts beat along to

The sound of a tired and bitter tension

So tell me you're only

Here for a moment

Not for a second past

You take it back

Move forward, you keep cutting slack (take it back, can't take it back)

What for? Is this part of the plan? (take it back, can't take it back)

Do you think that ship's coming back? (take it back, can't take it back)

I know it's gone

You think we're birds of a feather

Doing our best to flock together

I'm better and better

Further and further from the centre

Our hearts beat along to

The sound of reluctance forming pattern

A different story for

Every lonely night off the beaten path

You take it back

Move forward, you keep cutting slack (take it back, can't take it back)

What for? Is this part of the plan? (take it back, can't take it back)

Do you think that ship is coming back? (take it back, can't take it back)

I know it's gone
